This is a really good translation and telling of the early Irish myths and sagas. I’ve always enjoyed the Celtic myths, and I highly recommend this as a read!

Those who have read similar tales elsewhere will be familiar with the differing conventions, such as lengthy genealogies, lists and descriptions of warriors and supernatural and magical encounters. There's a nice Introduction to All Things Pagan Celtic and brief individual introductions for each story.… (plus d'informations)
